Compared with the lively atmosphere of the Dong family, the Zhao Mansion located in the pine alley in the capital on the same day was a completely different scene.
A woman of about thirty years old was lying on the bed, holding a peach-colored dress in her hand, and crying so much that her liver and intestines were broken. Her face was sallow, her hair was not wearing any jewelry, her eyes were red, and they were already swollen like two peaches.
"Zhiniang, don't cry, your body is not good, if you continue to cry every day, where can you wait for Huiya to come back!" The second master of the Zhao family looked at his wife crying, and his heart was also gloomy, his gentle face was a little sad, and he was obviously very worried about his daughter's safety.
When his family was surrounded by mountain bandits and was in danger, Huiyan's child's horse was frightened, and the carriage rushed out, and his life and death were uncertain. The family was later rescued by the people brought by the eldest brother, but it was also a heavy loss, afraid that the mountain bandits would come back, so they hurriedly ran away with people, but they only found Huiya for less than an hour, and only found the bodies of the two Yahuan after falling into the carriage and fled.
Speaking of this, thinking of his lively and lovely daughter, looking at his wife's grief-stricken appearance, Second Master Zhao felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and secretly blamed himself.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't like martial arts, if he could have a good martial arts like the eldest brother and the third brother, the third brother would not be alone when surrounded by mountain bandits, and the carriage that Huiya was sitting in would not be frightened and run away.
"How can I not cry, Ya'er is the meat that fell from my body, and now her life and death are uncertain, I feel bitter in my heart! Today is Ya'er's birthday, and when she was just born, she was a little older, like a cat cub......" Second Lady Zhao said while crying, panting slightly, and her voice gradually lowered.
At such a time on Hui Ya's birthday, Zhao Erye and his wife were relatively speechless, as Hui Ya's father and mother, the two couldn't do anything, so they could only cry silently, waiting for the news of the family members who went to the mountain to search and rescue.
"Second master, second lady, great joy!" At this time, a woman like a lady in charge ran in from outside the courtyard, her expression was extremely cheerful, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, "Great joy! ”
"Big joy? What a big joy? When Second Mrs. Zhao heard this, she hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at the lady in charge who rushed in with hope, "But Huiya has news?" ”
"Exactly, exactly! Miss Huiya has news! Second master, second lady, take a look, this is a letter from the mountains! The lady in charge wiped her tears and presented the letter in her hand, her voice was full of joy, she was the dowry girl of the Zheng family, married to the Zhao family's surname Du Steward, known as Du Niangzi.
"A letter from the mountains?" Hearing this, Zhao Erye hurriedly snatched the envelope, his hands were trembling slightly, he finally opened the envelope, and when he saw the childish but very familiar words inside, tears couldn't help but fall.
"Huiya, my son, you are still alive......" The emotions that Zhao Erye had been desperately suppressing since just now suddenly burst out at this moment, and tears flowed down.
"Ya'er...... My daughter ......" Second Mrs. Zhao heard that Huiya was still alive, and couldn't help but cry excitedly on the bed, "It's great that you're still alive......"
Hui Ya's father and mother and wife were so excited that they hugged and cried because of Hui Ya's news, and the entire Zhao Mansion was also boiling because of this matter. Originally, I thought that Miss Huiya in the mountain who died was rescued by Mama Zheng, and now she is being placed in a place called Dongjia Village, waiting for them to pick it up.
The lord of the Zhao family, now the commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division, was also very excited after hearing the news, although he had not been impressed by this granddaughter after being away from home for many years, but it was his own granddaughter. Older people always think that they are blessed with many children, although they are granddaughters, but it is not a good thing for the younger children to die young, and it is naturally a happier thing to be able to live well.
"Hurry up, get ready to set the car, let's go pick up the child!" Second Mrs. Zhao didn't cry at the moment, her body, which was weak because of depression in the past, seemed to get better in an instant, and she was busy packing up her things and going to find Huiya in the mountain.
"Your body is very weak, and when you came to the capital, you lost half of your life, where can you toss again!" Second Master Zhao was also full of joy when he heard Huiya's news, but when he saw that his wife was going to find it in person, he was a little worried.
"Husband, I didn't take this child with me when we ran for our lives, my heart was so uncomfortable that I wanted to die, and now that this child has come back with news, can I still go to her? Husband, I am Ya'er's mother-in-law
, I'm her mother! Second Mrs. Zhao's tears fell down, and since the accident, her heart was full of worry and guilt.
"If it weren't for me to take care of Shan'er, I wouldn't have sent Ya'er to the car behind, and if Ya'er wasn't in the car, I wouldn't have been taken away...... How did I get over these days, others don't know that the master still doesn't know? My heart is about to break......" Second Lady Zhao cried blood, and the longing and guilt for Huiya in her heart were like a river that had broken its embankment, surging out of control.
"Don't cry, don't cry...... Ya'er said in the letter that she is very good, let us prepare well, bring more people to pick her up, then we will prepare well, and we will leave in five days. You take good care of your body these days, as long as you take care of your body, I'll take you there, okay? Second Master Zhao couldn't bear to look at his wife's tears.
"Okay, I'll take care of my body, let's bring a doctor on the way, and then pay for the dart game, this time I must bring Ya'er back safely!" Second Mrs. Zhao's face showed a resolute look, she wiped the tears on her face vigorously, and said.
Because of the news that Huiya is still alive, the entire Zhao Mansion is boiling, and the maid-in-law and the mother-in-law have all come to the second room under the orders of the big and small masters.
Even Hui Ya's own brother Hui Shan, who became silent after falling ill, came to Mrs. Zhao's room unusually, although it was still silent, but the glint of hope in his eyes made the whole person look alive.
In the early morning five days later, a row of carriages slowly drove out of the city gate under the escort of the courtyard and the dart master, and the anxious Zhao Erye and his wife sat on the carriage, and there was Zhao Sanye riding a high-headed horse outside the team.
Second Mrs. Zhao opened the curtain of the carriage, watched the red sun in the east gradually rise, and couldn't help but feel excited, "Ya'er, wait for your mother, my mother is here to pick you up!" ”
